Arsenal defender Koscielny: Giroud will return stronger

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny says Olivier Giroud will fight back from his latest injury.

The Frenchman is set to be on the sidelines until the back end of the year after picking up an ankle injury in last month's draw with Everton.

Koscielny told the club's website: "He's very strong during the game and he's scored a lot of goals. So for us it's very difficult to lose him. But I know him and I know he will come back stronger.

"He will want to show everyone that he can be a very good player and a good striker in the Premier League and in Europe. It is important for us that Olivier keeps this mentality and comes back stronger for us."
